Department: CLASSIFIED

First interviews have been conducted with all subjects. Subsequent report will be detailed via recording verbatim (ref. # ).

Subject Farron shows promise as candidate for Anima. Based on entry contract with the academy there are few familial ties. One sister is shown, Serah Farron. Interviewees (listed in addendum #00012B) describe subject Farron (coded Lightning) as lacking in emotion. Adept at varietal fighting styles and a strong sense of leadership.

All interviews conducted by preparer Jihl Nabaat D.F.S.

Lightning seems disassociative during previous encounters with staff. Demeanor can be described as quiet. Asst. practitioner Raine preformed all vital scans which can be read in attached medical report (ref. # ms00012). Health is perfect.

As instructed by Professor Hojo, initial interview is to garner as much background information from Lightning regarding consortium ties within the academy. Due diligence adhered to questioning as previously prepared.

Transcript:

[00:00:00:00]

Nabaat: Good evening Claire. How are you feeling?

[00:00:05.30]

Farron: Can't complain I suppose.

[00:00:06.93]

Nabaat: That's good to hear. Very good.

[00:00:08.50]

Nabaat: I hope you don't mind the physical exam everytime you visit. Standard procedure.

[00:00:14.80]

Farron: Guess I am in no position to complain. You do realize I am in good shape.

[00:00:20.86]

Nabaat: Well, you have to be to be part of the academy. Speaking of which, Claire, I hope you won't mind answering a few questions for me today?

[00:00:30.85]

-unintelligible-

[00:00:32.51]

Nabaat: -laughter- I can assume by your boorish grunt that you believe you have no place to complain about this either?

[00:00:39.85]

Nabaat: Well good. Let's get underway. Tell me, you were brought to the academy three years ago. According to admittance census it states that you have one living relative, a sister, named Serah that was brought with you. Parents are deceased. An unfortunate commonality with our cadets. You score top of your classes. I can see why you were hand picked for this project.

[00:01:03.25]

Farron: I volunteered.

[00:01:04.42]

Nabaat: Oh? That wasn't provided in my report. My main goal in talking to you is not related to that however, so no matter. I am much more interested how you handle personal relationships. Not your sister because there is already a familial bond.

[00:01:20.22]

Nabaat: I wish to know if you have any friendships? Acquaintances that you regularly interact with?

[00:01:27.17]

Farron: What do you mean by interact?

[00:01:29.75]

Nabaat: My colleagues are merely trying to establish how adjusted you are- how comfortable you are in forming comraderier with others. It is important if you are to be a SOLDIER.

[00:01:41.25]

Farron: I don't really have any friends.

[00:01:42.36]

Nabaat: I see. According to your instructors and peers you are well admired.

[00:01:47.93]

Farron: Am I.

[00:01:49.00]

Nabaat: Seems you don't care about what others think.

[00:01:52.12]

Farron: Should I? Real SOLDIERs shouldn't form bonds with people that are too close.

[00:01:59.67]

Nabaat: Why is that?

[00:02:00.22]

Farron: Even the best may not live very long.

[00:02:03.67]

Nabaat: The same could be said for anyone in this world. So you actively choose not to form friendships. According to my interviews, your instructors mention you portray a cold demeanor. That takes years of discipline to disassociate in such a way.

[00:02:21.87]

Farron: Fight without passion. Anger gets you killed. Makes you reckless.

[00:02:27.47]

Nabaat: Tell me Claire, who is Vanille Dia to you?

[00:02:34.67]

Farron: Someone I am looking after.

[00:02:35.17]

Nabaat: What do you mean?

[00:02:39.17]

Farron: I made a promise to a friend that I would look after her. You asked me if I currently had friends, I don't. Not anymore.

[00:02:50.84]

Nabaat: Who was this friend?

[00:02:54.92]

Farron: She isn't around anymore. But you no doubt know her. Famous I guess at the academy. Left awhile back.

[00:03:04.94]

Farron: Fang Yun
